Katon (12 months)
​
(select 2, 3, 4 or 5 days a week)

Classroom Ratio
8 students: 2 teachers

Coming soon in 2021, our youngest learners will spend their first year interacting with the world around them through their five senses. Touch, taste, sound, sight and smell bring the world into perspective. Independence, self-confidence, curiosity and discovery are nurtured daily as children interact in various learning environments created to promote problem solving, critical thinking, community building and further development of gross and fine motor skills. 

Maon (24 months by August 1st)
​(select 2, 3, 4 or 5 days a week)

Classroom Ratio
10 students: 2 teachers

The toddler classroom is a room full of wonder and opportunity. Nurturing a strong sense of self and independence in our little ones is key for this age group. Children will engage in various play opportunities centered around skill building, appropriate risk taking and social skills. The classroom environment is set up for accessibility allowing children the opportunity to independently meet their own needs.  With a maximum group size of 10 children, you can rest assured that your child will receive plenty of love and support as they begin to develop their own identities.

Ganon (4 years old and potty trained by August 1st)
(5 day a week program)

Classroom Ratio
16 students: 2 teachers

Better known as Pre-K, Ganon is centered on social interaction and is a pivotal year in your child’s development. It is here that we nurture kindergarten readiness, solidifying the foundations of academic readiness through the use of Get Set for School (Handwriting Without Tears) and Math Their Way. The Ganon year is filled with activities focused on social interaction, cooperation, and community building. Phonemic awareness, learning capital letters, illustrating and dictating stories, and practicing a wide range of math skills are daily themes as we prepare the children for the rigors of full-day Kindergarten.
